Stephen Booth, a trustee of SACHD, became involved with the association when his daughter Jennifer, 9, was diagnosed with a heart condition.

Mum Vikki said: “Jennifer was born with a congenital heart defect called Tricuspid Atresia, which means she only has half of a heart, the two chambers on the right side did not develop.

“She is the reason this charity has been picked as they support her and us -and hundreds of other families who have children with heart defects and often life-limiting - to live as normal a life as possible.

“The group did so, so well.”

The cyclists have received donations from family, friends local businesses and colleagues.

Their route to the West Coast was no easy one and involved 16,000 feet of climbs. It took them via Ballater, Braemar, Glenshee, Pitlochry, Killen, Callander, Balloch and the Erskine Bridge before heading to Largs, and then ferry to Millport.

Team member Mark Kettle, who could not take part, will travel a different route in a few weeks.
